Transmisiion wont go in gear?

Got to a stop sign today and my transmission was stuck in 4th gear. I could not get it out and finally got it off the road and forced it into neutral and now it will not go into any gear. I have changed slave cylinder, and clutch master before all this happened about a month ago, so Im thinking this is going to be internal and expensive. Any help?

Clutch pedal pushed in all the way? Like team said does it go into gear when trucks off without clutch pressed and pressed. Check slave cyl mounts might have come loose.... where did you buy the slave cyl and master cyl from? Where they bleed properly when installed?

Transmision

This is a 90 4 runner 3.0 with 5 speed 4 wheel drive. I just replaced the clutch bracket and other parts mentioned earlier about a month ago. With the truck running or not it will not go into gear. With the clutch pressed in it does nothing. I cannot even get the shifter to move side to side to go from 1st to reverse. Its like something is locked up.

so its stuck in neutral? Will the truck roll? Is there resistance in the clutch pedal ie, does it feel like its doing anything when u push the pedal?

If it won't shift with the engine NOT running, it's something internal to the transmission that's broken. If it were me, I'd probably just buy another tranny off craigslist or somewhere, and swap it out (put in a new clutch while you've got it apart).

transmission

Its weird how it all the sudden just lost everything. The clutch feels fine like it always has, but the shifter will not go anywherein any motion whatso ever.
